Locked On Irish - Daily Podcast On Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football & Basketball

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish pulled away from the Purdue Boilermakers in the second half to secure their first win in the 2025 college football season. Tyler Wojciak is joined by Luke Smith to share their final thoughts on Notre Dame’s dominant 56-23 win over Purdue. Luke gives his weekly “boots on the ground report” from South Bend, including what it was like inside the stadium during the two-hour rain delay. The guys break down their three things they liked—highlighting breakout performances from Jeremiyah Love, Jadarian Price, and CJ Carr—and three things they didn’t like, focusing on continued struggles under defensive coordinator Chris Ash. They also briefly look ahead to the upcoming matchup against Arkansas. (0:00) - Intro(1:44) - Report from South Bend(5:32) - What We Liked(18:29) - What We Didn’t Like Follow Tyler on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TylerWojciakFollow Locked On Irish on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LockedOnIrishFollow Locked On Irish on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lockedonirishpod/?hl=enSubscribe to Locked on Irish on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC749D_LgykIE8WLu7W4UQlQ Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! 5-Hour ENERGYEnough with boring, flavorless caffeine, it’s time to give your caffeine a flavor upgrade with 5-hour ENERGY®️ shots.

Notre Dame’s defense under Chris Ash has stumbled out of the gate, and now the Irish are 0-2 with zero margin of error for the rest of the season if they want to return to the College Football Playoff.

Notre Dame fans have plenty of questions after the disappointing loss to Miami, and Tyler Wojciak attempts to answer them in another Friday Mailbag. Tyler breaks down the most pressing issues facing the Irish, including Mike Denbrock’s play calling, Marcus Freeman’s role in game management, and the underutilization of star running back Jeremiyah Love. Tyler also evaluates Christian Gray’s up-and-down play across from Leonard Moore, whether the offensive line’s struggles go deeper than expected, and how the captains can bounce back as leaders after tough performances.

Notre Dame fell short in the season opener against Miami, but it wasn’t all bad. Tyler Wojciak is joined by longtime friend and former co-host Luke Smith for their traditional final thoughts segment. Luke was in the building and kicks things off with his “boots on the ground” report from Hard Rock Stadium. Then, they share three things they liked and three things they didn’t. They close with a quick lookahead to Texas A&M. (0:00) - Intro(2:04) - Report from Miami(7:12) - What We Liked(22:43) - What We Didn’t Like Follow Tyler on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TylerWojciakFollow Locked On Irish on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LockedOnIrishFollow Locked On Irish on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lockedonirishpod/?hl=enSubscribe to Locked on Irish on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC749D_LgykIE8WLu7W4UQlQ Listener SurveyWe’ve put together a survey to learn more about our listeners and make your favorite podcasts even better. Go to https://lockedonpodcasts.com/survey/ to get started.
